(0 1) Area 1 (approximately 17 acres) includes portions of the site that may be significantly disturbed for the construction of active recreation areas, buildings, and parking lots, Work in Area 1 should include a Surface and Subsurface Investigation to locate and evaluate the probable significance and extent of any archaeological or historically significant remains in this area and to avoid any damage of cultural resources by the proposed park development. 2) Area 2 (approximately 2 acres) includes a small section of the site that is likely to be part of an expansion of the Town of Hillsborough's Public Works facility, Work in this area should include a full Surface and Subsurface Investigation to evaluate any sites or potential sites prior to future ground disturbance and to avoid any damage of cultural resources by the proposed development 3) Area 3 (approximately 12 acres) includes portions of the site that are likely to be used for low impact recreation or open space, Work in Area 3 should include aReconnaissance-level survey to identify any areas that appear to merit additional investigation, 4) Area 4 includes portions of the site, which are not intended for part of the park expansion. No archaeological survey work is requested far this area as part of this project. However the Contractor shall notify the County, if during the initial research phase or at any other time during the project, the Contractor discovers any information that would suggest the location of a potentially significant site within Area 4. The survey will be comprised of the following principal components: (a) background research, (b) a surface and possible subsurface investigation of the area (Areas 1 & 2) proposed far facilities construction, (c) a limited field reconnaissance of the remainder of the property (Area 3), and (d) a reporting of results. These components are described as follows: A. Background Research Prior to the initiation of the field investigations the Contractor shall undertake background research sufficient to acquire a working familiarity with the natural and cultural resources in the study area and to locate any previously recorded historical or archaeologically significant sites an the property, including former roads, historic structures, and any significant landscape alterations associated with those historic structures, The North Carolina Division of Archives and History should be contacted tc determine whether there are any such recorded sites, and to reference existing architectural and archaeclogical survey files. Other resources should include, but not be limited to An Inventory of Cultural, Historical, Recreational Biological, and Geological Significance in the Unincorporated Portions of Orange County, the Historic Preservation Element of the Orange County Comprehensive Plan and ERCD staff research files. B. Surface and Subsurface Investigation of Potential Construction Areas The Contractor should perform limited surface and possible subsurface investigation in potential construction areas, which are shown as potential "Active Recreation"
